The day you’ve all been waiting for is finally here! (Aside from those of us who have to wait just a little longer.) The first stage of the release for Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire starts today, fans in the US, Japan and Australia can finally get their hands on the game after years of wishful hoping, and months of anticipation. Trainers in Europe can expect to get their mitts on the games when they release on November 28.
For those of you who have already picked up the game, we hope you are enjoying it! In this article we invite all of our readers, whether old or new to join in and discuss the games. What starter Pokémon will you/have you chosen? What are you most looking forward to in the games? How are you celebrating the release (outside of playing the games, obviously!)
Get talking in the comments! For those who don’t yet have the games, this is a free-for-all discussion. The comments will contain spoilers
I love how Archie says you can stay and relax in his room whenever. <3
And how long did you stay in there sniffing his chair?
About five minutes. I sat on his bed and grabbed a nugget too.
A gold nugget right?
Yeah. That….
I can’t tell if that’s the norm or a new record
Norm.
No more, no less. (Rf)
Ew.
You keep trying to shove aqua down my throat I’ll shove back. 😉
I won’t stop until everyone is converted!
#Magmamasterrace
#MaxieToTheMax
Aqua ia best team
hey everyone!!
Hey scamp!
scamp????? i thought you were going to write champ! XD, so hows it going? today is not my day!
Scamp is the way Archie calls you, the trainer, in ORAS.
Probably in an endearing way.
ohhh! no wonder, because i just beat may just outside slate port XD! no wonder i didn’t knew
Yes it is. He becomes a sweet heart after the game.
Nah…. It could be better. Why isn’t today your day?
so today at work i got cursed by a customer (which is the first time it happens but i didnt gave a fudge) and then i ended up short and now i will be fired (its my 3rd time ) 🙁 and now my thanksgiving is ruined, I’m off tomorrow but i guess ill get called in to talk w/ the manager
That sucks. What do you mean by short?
i was short on cash from my till
Oooh….. Okay…. 🙁
yeah, the amount i was short equals 2 and a half oras games lmfao!… so any news on how to obtain hoopa?
Not a word. Which someone else may have heard.
okay, well Ill b here playing alpha
Good choice. 😉
you know it defensive, alpha all the way!!
Why would you be fired?
because its my 3rd strike
Thanks, mom, you just happened to find Lati@site….
Ugh… Finished catching the regis, now I’m trying for Thundurus. Hope i don’t die or kill it because i forgot to save… >_<
The game forced me into taking one of the Johto Starters! I freaked out b/c i couldn’t soft reset for one b/c i wanted to progress through the game more :C
I was really mad at that part, I wanted to sr for one, and even if I DID save, I couldn’t check it b/c my party was full ;~;
Same here :C
I’ll have to remember to only bring 4 pokemon for Rayquaza (So when he gets caught i’ll still have a spot open) in OR after i try SR’ing for a shiny one (assuming there isn’t a shiny lock)
Does anybody know where the IV checker is?
Battle Resort.
Thanks
Is it possible to get a critical capture on a legendary? I’ve thrown so many pokeballs and still no luck…
Great, it killed itself. Why is it you can’t save in the sky? Would make things so much easier.
I am dedicating my whole day tomorrow on creating and perfecting my secret base.
Anyways, how was everyone’s (who celebrates it) Thanksgiving? I experienced one of the best thanksgivings of my whole life. Sitting in the family room, watching thanksgiving specials on TV with my whole family (including my dog!), laughing so hard at stupid little things, experiencing havoc when giving my dog a bath and laughing about it, and just so much more.
I realized today that I have to much more to be thankful for than I realized, and I now have a full appreciation of it.
Brack Friday Secret Basearu
Time to transform a 2-floor cave into a Normal Type Gym!
you’ll need a lot of bleach
I wish they had a 2-floor Tree or Bush Secret Base.
Ya how does your secret base teams work? It just the pokemon in your party or what?
I haven’t even made my base yet, but I’m pretty sure you give them pokemon to use based on what’s in your battle box?
Or they just have a random team.
Idk I have to check it out.
Archie said I could relax with him.
I’m sure he did.
I’m sure he did.
Yeah. RF
I will not refresh so that I will keep my sanity and not see an inappropriate picture of Archie that you find attractive.
Nono.
Not tonight young padawan.
It’s not. It’s a screen shot from my game…
I no trust
Okay….
It acctully is. its a sence from the delta episode
I had snow. 11inches to be exact. It has been a good day. Also pie
It sleeted here, then rained.
Thanks Giving was pretty good
I fully beat my ORAS and I cried
I fully beat the Weather Institute today.
Didn’t really cry but you know.
Mine was okay. The day started with waking up from anxiety nightmares because I’m trying to transfer into a different bio teacher’s class at school because my current teacher doesn’t teach anything. Almost everyone fails her final. After that, I watched some more of the Indigo League on Netflix, sorted out pokemon in my pc and helped my mom make dinner.
Try to enjoy your Thanksgiving break without thinking about school.
And what’s so bad about switching classes?
Just go to your guidance counselor, principal, or course manager and talk about why you want to switch and see what is the best option for you.
I went to my counselor yesterday and she said she’s trying as hard as she can to get me out of this class. (They had a few too many complaints about this teacher in the past)The problem is it might be too late to switch but I’m hoping for the best.
Always look towards the optimistic side of things 🙂
And if a lot of people are complaining, then they must be doing something about the problem. If not, then I would get you and a few other students with the same problems with the teacher to have a conference with the principal.
About to begin my dialga SR! Wish me luck!
Good luck. I’m SRing for a shiny Ho-Oh, too.
what is sr?
soft reset
ohhh! lol! goodluck and may you not get bored
goodluck gentlemen!
Good Luck! It might just be me, but it seems easier than XY odds. This is just from watching videos online where many have gotten them in under 1000 SRs
*just an observation
They think that the portal legends are significantly easier to get shiny then main story legends, like Groudon or Kyogre.
But good thing is I’ll be here all day tomorrow so i can rant at my bad luck with you! 😀

My updated need list for Pokedex Completion. Super close. 😮
Do you not use the GTS to help you
I do, that is why it’s much shorter than before.
Hence “updated”.
Oh, I didn’t know, haha, sorry
Good luck 🙂
Are you going for living dex? Or just completion?
living?
When you have one of every single pokemon in your Pc, it is considered a “living” pokedex
ah ok
Considered a very great achievement by those who do it because of the patience required of it. I’m actually trying to do a living dex in AS right now! I’m at about 400 in my boxes
I might do that sometime. the only problem would be i would taking mounths out of competitive play. And since i play in VGC regionals and nationals that is too much for me.
Yeah, I started doing it in X, then transferred the pokemon I had already gotten. So now i can just finish it up here and continually transfer them to the new generation each time! 😀
Tho i think i’ll start off and on going from gen 1 and on.
I did a living in Diamond (first time) then in Black then in X I did a semi living dex because I just had the final evolutions of the Pokemon (or just the Pokemon if it doesn’t evolve), took me a while seeing as how the only things I transferred were the legendaries, the rest on the GTS/evolving/Friend Safari
Just completion for now.
Super Close
Anyone wanna make their own pokedex? Here’s the emplates:
I’ll post mine when I’m done

Rules:
3 Starter lines, (Grass, Fire, water) And then basically trying to make your own region. You can make it realistic, but with your favorites
I made a fakedex.

Future story DLC confirmed. RF
*sigh* I fell for it xD
In the DLC we start our new lives together.
I’m very happy for you two
He’ll lose interest with you in about a week
That’s what people said about me and my BF and we’ve been together for almost 2 years.
then why you drooling over Archie
Probably because he looks like a buffed up version of my BF.
well my words have failed me…
i wish you two the best of luck
Finally got Thundurus, now on to Landorus.
I actually think it’s very possible delta emerald will happen now.
There is an unbelievably high amount of evidence, along with GF clearly stating that patterns were no more, so…
But by “pattern no more” statement, anything the fans expect are unlikely to be true.
This could never be a more true statement
yes, there has not been a remake sequel yet.
Also, Masuda himself stated Hoenn was a very very special region to him (his wife was pregnant with his daughter at the time)
Didn’t they name an NPC after her too?
Yes, and the girl in the contest image on the official site is his daughter.
Could i please see aa pic?
http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/_ui/img/_en/august/screenshots/aug_p15_03_hmd.jpg
ah ok thanks
That doesn’t really mean that they should make a ton of games about it. I really see no story plot they could use. Emerald’s story has been told in the Delta Episode.
It could be a sequel to the delta episode or to emerald in general, or perhaps a game connecting kalos and hoenn.
(AZ’s Floette is in ORAS)
Kalos and Hoenn are already connected with the Origin of Mega Evolution. I kind of want to know what story you would give a Hoenn Sequel tho.
I just want to be present during when they summoned rayquaza the first time ;~;
We have enough in the delta episode. they always leave cliffhangers at the remakes post game ex: Gionvoni’s disappearence ORAS:Zinnia leaving to who knows where
the thing is, the former actually happened in the origin games, Zinnia disappearing or Zinnia in general wasn’t in r/s
My wife was too at that time Hoenn will always be special to me because of it <3
I want some of your bases. 🙁
I’ll share mine tomorrow. I put you in as one of my secret pals
I’m still trying to figure out how it all works.
OMG! Pokemon Trainer Red in OR/AS! 😀 (Refresh.)
wat
How and where?
I…very much dout its legitimacy…
Source?
That’s from Devianart nice try
Ha. Yea; I got it from there. I wanted to see how many people would believe it. lul.
Just tried refreshing for Afarr’s comment, and it disappeared…
Same here. XD
Can we find mega stones underwater?
There weren’t any underwater.
Okay. I want to find them all by myself. I just don’t know where to look….
Why don’t you start from the beginning? 😉
I’ve found 23. How many are there again?
I think… 47? B/c Rayquaza doesn’t have one.
I don’t think so. It’s a cool idea though.
This final battle with Wally is so adorable
use pk fire
Dat background & music is amazing.
http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1417036574820.gif
Cuter than this?
Yea, but I wouldn’t say sexier 😉
Smart choice of words. Hate to have to use the ban anchor on you.
To me Archie is the only pokemon character worthy of being called “Best Villain”
both a villain, rival, and a bro.
And basically everything about AS’s plot was amazing
You ever saw Maxie’s losing animation made lol
OMFG I was watching a video of someone playing OR and they beat him and I laughed so much.
Dat dude goes crazy. That’s one reason I’m getting OR!
Exactly! I loved it! He becomes so sweet! He’s bad, sexy, friendly, and loving!
He goes Villain then to Bro. Remember he could be your partner in the Battle Mansion.
I really hope the next Game is a Red and Blue Remake
Charizard X (you know it’ll happen)
Nidoking
Primeape/Machamp/Maybe even Poliwrath
Snorlax
Electabuz/Electivire
Rhydon/Rhyperior
Giovanni is now harassing the great minds of Kanto for information for Mega Evolution for his pursuit for power
Its kinda like a Updated/Director’s Cut
I’ve got a feeling we’ll get one. Mega Rhyperior would definitely be in it.
well as much as i hate to admit it
Giovanni and i are strangely similar
Rhyperior will get a Mega at some point. I just hope it looks good. Ground type trainers….
Since the Ralts line gets 2 Mega Evolution, I’m hoping the Nidoran line would, too. I really want Mega Nidoking, and obligatory Mega Nidoqueen.
B-but muh Snorunt line
After what Glacia’s Froslass did to my team, I’m incline to say no. >:(
My Torkal reked her team
Flannery rekd me.
How did she do it
how
how
*places hand shoulder* No
THANK YOU
Tbh I think it will be in order. We got FR LG then SS and HG now ORAS next would be sinnoh.
I would pull my eyes out of their sockets if that happened.
Lol good thing or bad thing. For me, idk I love ORAS and can’t even imagine how they could top them. Plus I am not a huge sinnoh fan. “Saving a lot of data…” Idk
“I’m bored I guess I’ll do under ground”
*Saving a lot of data*
“Holy shit this is taking so long”
*finally goes underground*
*base is on the other side of the wall*
“NONONONO”
*returns to surface after 10 minutes of lag*
“Saving a lot of data”
repeat^
This this this
And that’s impossible to fix in a remake right?
I mean ORAS made the most boring pokemon games into the best pokemon games,surely they could fix sinnoh
Ok I came up with a way for me. If they added mega: Clefable, stoutland, togekiss, drapion, I feel like there’s another one I am missing. These personally could top ORAS. I love using these pokemon. And whoever said Altaria was good I love my Altaria and mega Altaria hyper voice is amaZing I probably could’ve played a solo Altaria game xD
YASSS MY BABY SINNOH!
ehhhhhh i really don’t feel like a Sinnoh Remake
I’m going to make multiple accounts to down vote this.
Hard Ass
Their is a bright flashing neon SINNOH behind my hoenn
butbut genwunner pandering
I’m not Genwunnering
i’m just curious since when XY came out the first major direct shown Mega Kanto starters
and a vast majority of Kanto Favorites got Megas
Mega Evolution is slowly unraveling its mysteries
What’s wrong with genwunning? I love hoenn and kanto. They are my two favorite! Gen 1 had great pokemon. You have al heard me arguing kanto before tho XD
GameFreak goes by demand. Around the time of D/P/Pt.; people wanted a Johto remake. Then a Hoenn outcry started around the time of B2/W2. GameFreak started to make OR/AS after that. If more people want a Kanto remake we might get it. Yet, I believe the next remake would go to Sinnoh.
I’m not so sure, Delta Emerald and Kanto Sequels are under kind of high demand rn.
What items do you people have registered? I have the Eon Flute, Super Rod, March Bike and the Across Bike.
All of these. They’re just so useful
What is the March and Across Bike? When I get the game; I will have the Eon Flute and Mach Bike/Acro Bike.
wait where do you live?
Ugh. Swift Key…. I select one thing but it still corrects it to something else.
I’m guessing autocorrect took over.
Eon flute, both bikes, super rod.
Acro Bike/Mach Bike (it changes), Item Finders, Good Rod
I have the Pokeblock Case, Good Rod, Mach Bike and Dowsing Machine.
Eventually, I will register the Acro Bike, Eon Flute and Super Rod.
Top 5 Kanto Megas?
I want
Mega Arcanine
Mega Raichu
Mega Nidoking
Mega Dragonite
Mega Clefable
Mega Arcanine YASSS. Basically the Mega Milotic of Kanto, except with a higher chance of happening!
You included Clefable!!!!!!!!
Mega Charizard Z
Mega Charizard A
Charizard too cool to have others on this list
I only want one of these
The rest are Major pains
That’s probably Nido king right?
ARCANINE!!!!
Mega Gardevoir vs Mega Gallade
One Moonblast from Gardevoir; GG. I like Mega Gallade’s design more tho.
Fairy beats fighting and psychic is normal on gallade
Mega Gallade is amazing. I was pretty upset when i learned you couldn’t get it’s stone until post-game but you could get Gardevoir’s almost immediately after getting the mega bracelet
Nah had to beat cave of origin to get Gardevoirite
Shows how much i cared for Gardevoirite in this game. i just figured, but it makes sense since I started getting mega stones after beating Wallace.
Lol mega stone post game and dawn stone before e4! Talk about using mega gallade xD
I got my dawn stone before the third gym from Secret super training.
One normal type move or fairy type move and gg.
Gardevoir Wins
252+ SpA Pixilate Mega Gardevoir Hyper Voice vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Gallade: 446-528 (161 – 190.6%) — guaranteed OHKO
252+ SpA Mega Gardevoir Moonblast vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Gallade: 362-428 (130.6 – 154.5%) — guaranteed OHKO
UNLESSSSSSS
Gallade randomly carries Poison Jab for some odd reason
252 Atk Gallade Poison Jab vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Mega Gardevoir: 296-350 (106.8 – 126.3%) — guaranteed OHKO
Who is faster? And lol some reason being to specifically tae out gard. Sorry lag
Gallade
Really?
If a fighting type of mine can leaarn poison jab, it always gets a spot on the move-sset
I had Poison Jab on my Gallade in Y. It proved to be very helpful with the Expert Belt!
I’m think of having mine replace my Terrikaion
What did AZOTH stand for? I honestly couldn’t figure It out
Alpha
Z
Omega
D e l t a E m e r a l d
HURNN and KALURRSS CONFURMED
No. In g me a grunt says A means beginning Z means end
Alpha for beginning
Z for end (Zeta isn’t the last Greek Alphabet)
OTH?
Omega
TH?
The Hoenn
A and Z mean beginning and end. OTH; I really don’t know. It might be AZ’s real name. Seems like the second Kalos Game is coming! ;D
Alpha
Zeta
Omega
Theta
So; Alpha, Zeta, Omega, Theta, and Heta “(Eta)”.
Ok so nobody knows XD GG everyone lol
OTH is from different letters meaning different things.
@NintendoChip wrote a comment on it, check his past
SPOILER
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azoth
NintendoChip pointed out that Azoth is the universal medicine or universal solvent sought in alchemy. I would like to add that in the recent Delta Episode, it is explained that the energy used in the 3000 years ago war by AZ is from the life energy of Pokémon, in which the Devon corps called “Infinite Energy”. Azoth could refer to the life energy of Pokémon.
Soooo
Delta Emerald confirmed ??
